That’s the nature of the Olympics. The competition is such that on a given day any of a number of people can take the Gold. Even if I had that level of athletic talent, I would probably choke.. The pressure seems enormous.

Most everyone (with typical Red England arrogance), Miller included, thought he was the man to beat entering Sunday’s race.

...Miller finished eighth in the downhill, more than a half-second slower than champion Matthias Mayer of Austria, who charged down the course in 2 minutes, 6.23 seconds.

Can that timing possibly be correct? Miller finished eight so this would mean that six skiers finished between Mayer and Miller and they were all bunched together within 1/2 second or so. That seems awfully close to me!
